Liberty X star Michelle Heaton said she was days away from death.
The Priory therapists delivered a stark warning to the embattled star when they made a harrowing discovery about her liver after her drugs and booze battle.
Days away from death, one of the therapists at The Priory told the singer they didn't know if she was going to make it.
The singer said she was told a healthy level of enzyme GGT in the blood was 30 or less.
This reveals how damaged someone's liver is but her own liver stood at 2,500.
She told The Sun : “They had never seen a girl come in who registered that high. A therapist said to me, ‘We didn’t know if you were going to make it’.”
Her celebrity friends rallied around her and paid for the songstress to stay four weeks in The Priory after her cocaine and booze bingeing spiralled out of control.
Since 2018, Michelle said she has been knocking back two bottles of wine and a bottle of vodka every day.
By last September, she revealed she had hit "rock bottom".
She said: “I hadn’t washed properly, I was scruffy, I looked grey and I didn’t care.
“Last September I hit rock bottom with the alcohol and had excruciating pains. My doctor could feel my liver sticking out because I was so thin. I had scratch scars because liver issues make your skin itchy.”
It's believed the singer struggled with the effects of a hysterectomy in 2012 and a double mastectomy in 2015 which she had because she had a high risk of cancer.
Lockdown made things increasingly difficult for Michelle and she was devastated by her friend Nikki Grahame's death.
Michelle rocketed to fame as part of Liberty X in 2001 but the band later split in 2007.
At home, the singer has two children Faith, nine, and AJ, seven, who she shares with her husband of 11 years Hugh.
Hugh has thrown his support behind his wife publicly when she went into rehab.
